Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny Frankel on Wearing Toddler Pajamas on Instagram: What's the Big Deal?!

Bethenny Frankel hilariously but deservedly got in trouble with the court last week for wearing her daughter's pajamas in a photo she put on Instagram.
She has yet to see the error of her ways, however.

After a judge told Bethenny Frankel not to wear Bryn's jammies in future social media posts, you'd think that she'd take a long, hard look at herself.
Obviously, her intent was not negative in doing so.
Obviously, she cares a lot about her daughter.
Nevertheless, when you've been through an ugly divorce and custody battle your four-year-old will read about someday, and a judge tells you this?
You, being a grown adult woman wearing toddler clothes, and sharing it online as a high-profile person? The judge is admonishing you for a reason, B.
Not as she sees it, though.
Bethenny tells Meredith Vieira, definantly, "The truth of the matter is I don't really care what people think if I don't think I've done anything wrong."
Condescension Will Get You Everywhere
Sure, it's better in the long run to treat people with respect, but condescension and burning bridges will bring in ratings and money, so ...
"It was a dress of my daughter's, and she's like, 'Put this on,' and one of my friends was like, ‘Your Instagram game is weak.' So I just took a picture and thought it was cute."
"I had no idea that I would get that backlash," adds Bethenny, who is returning to The Real Housewives of New York City for Season 7 on Bravo.
"I had no idea, and I really didn't think it was that big of a deal. I didn't think people were going to start being anorexic because I put my daughter's clothes on."
"I just thought it was a ridiculous joke. I peed in a champagne bucket at my own wedding. The bar is very low, so why is that such a big deal?"
We're not sure what's weirder here:
  1. That she thought this was funny in any situation.
  2. That she thought she wouldn't get any flak for it.
  3. That she brags about the fact that she once peed in a champagne bucket at her wedding as if it were a defense of future behavior.
